there is magic in the mountains 

+ stories to tell + mountains to summit + snow to ski + trees to climb

hello, fellow wanderer 

Sammy Spence is an outdoor creative. She is a writer, blog content creator, painter + fine art photographer, who uses a creative eye to document adventure and lifestyle, currently based out of the PNW.  It is there that she finds inspiration for her writings, adventures, + photography projects. Whether she is guiding kayaking trips on the open sea, backpacking through the olympics, sleeping under star-drenched skies, skiing, hiking, mountain biking or blogging, she's always looking for the magic in the wild world around her. She believes there are stories to be told. She is looking to connect community by celebrating the beauty of the wilderness surrounding us, while hoping to encourage you to get out there and seek, discover, adventure.
